VR Exercise Challenge 2020 | Quest For Fitness Day 1

It's time for the VR Exercise Challange here on BMF. Are you ready for the Quest For Fitness? All month long I will be doing a VR exercise routine five days a week using the Oculus Quest. Every Wednesday I will be releasing an update video with updates on the progress and my workouts culminating in the final episode on the 31st of January where I will do a final weigh-in and go over what the VR exercise experience was like.

Don't forget to comment with your 2020 fitness goal for your chance to win a VZFit kit from Virzoom.

*EDIT* the response has been amazing to the first video! Everyone is amazing! I'm going to try to go back and comment people back as best I can but I'm having a family day today so I'm running behind and there are so many awesome comments haha. Happy Questing!

[SteveKnows]

[KarmaNeverLird]

As someone that got VR for excercise i LOVE this series...good luck

Dude, you have no idea how happy I am to see someone playing BoxVr on YouTube who's actually putting something into their punches. Every video I watch, they're focusing completely on speed, and not putting anything into their punches. I'm like, "You're missing half the workout!"

I bought BoxVr on psvr last week and have done 45 minutes to an hour every day since. Glad to see you doing this. I changed my diet 3 years ago, when I weighed over 400lbs. A year in, and a hundred pounds down(I've lost 180lbs total), I started walking. This past summer, I added in some weight training and pushups. I'm completely transformed. I feel 10 years younger.

GOAL: To prove my Doctor wrong!! Dec 2019 Doctor appointment, he suggested I look at weightloss surgery as he feels I wont be able to lose weight normally. Am currently 146kg (321 pounds) and need to get down to 100kg (220 pounds). Bought Quest last year and want to use this tool for fitness and prove my Dr wrong!!! I NEED to get fit, especially for my 7yr child.

Honestly, when I got the Quest around 3 weeks ago, I was very suprised how intense it is. I have regular muscle soreness since then. My brain and senses are so busy with the actual game, that I don't even realise and I've played an hour or more which includes a LOT of movement, for example in case of superhot, I always do dozens of squats, and I don't even mention beat saber and thrill of the fight... hell, the first thing after I finish I have to take a proper shower and clean the Quest. If you want to play these intense games for a long session, you literally need stretching before and a big bottle of water.

Goal: starting at 290 I want to be down to 200. And be a healthy dad for my daughter.

The quest is a great way to exercise it offers so many games. Good job and keep up the great vids

[taythree]

You can do it man, encouragement and determination are always key and we all believe in you

I’m an old granny who is going to take the leap and get the Oculus Quest. Beat Saber looks fun and I need to move more. Could stand to drop a load around my waist, too. Lots of you young folk here, hope you’ll cheer this granny on as she joins you in getting fitter 😊. Oh, and my fitness goal is to be able to walk a mile without gasping.

[MaxTheCoolMan]

my fitness goal is to work out more, I've subscribed to a gym last month because I'm overweight and now I'm going there every 2 days
edit: watched the vid and wanted to say you're doing great, Goodluck

BoxVR seems like a perfect way to burn calories! If I had a VR, I'll play this everyday.

[robocor]

Well done!! I started before Christmas and been using Box VR, Beat Saber and more recently Synth Riders. I have also picked up Thrill of the Fight but don’t have all that much room so I have to be careful during set up!!!

I gave up a gym membership when I got the Quest as I found the gym a bit boring and you had the hassle of packing a bag, driving getting changed etc. So your 45 minute work out ends up taking at least 90 minutes. Now I get up and do my work out before breakfast then into the shower and then get dressed ready to face the day. I am lucky that I am retired so I am not driven by the need to get to work!! My neighbours think I’m mad when they see this 69 year old dancing around his living room with a Quest headset on!!! Hope you reach your goals. I’ll keep checking out your progress videos. Good luck 👍👏👏

[niklasfritzell]

The quest has amazing potential as a fitness device. Perhaps the stereotype of a gamer will be a ripped one in a not so distant future. My goal will be to play more of these fitness games for sure!

[obliteratordog]

My goal is to change myself. I haven’t worked out in about a year and even when I was working out, I didn’t do it hard enough(or diet enough) to actually see physical change. It has always been good for me in other ways but this time I want change! Got my quest and ready to get into the VR workout spirit!

[DarkFinch.Original]

It will work for sure! I remember I lost weight back in the day playing DDR!

[Jordan-fopm]

My Goal: To give up drinking any kind of soda, ...hey I'm starting out slow...lol

[cnsmooth]

Even though I got myself a rift for xmas and have been somewhat casually looking at a few of your videos, this "challange" is what made me subscribe. Good luck. I already go to the gym so not sure how motivated I will be to do VR workouts 5 days a week but I will try to use it in someway to exercise.

[NerdiestGame]

Quest for fitness? Amazing! I've been looking something to help me work out! And I never even thought about using the quest for working out! So cool!!

[Hakeem]

Thrill of the Fight....will get you RIGHT! that game is an insane workout...I use it everyday now...
